2013 Brazilian Grand Prix - Interlagos

[Mr Alcatraz]

Proper wets for q3 has Fred's name written all over it. He saved inters though and he would have an advantage with new rubber IIRC.

Safety car on track. I just realized that we (q3) have been delayed.

[tomazy]

This is ridiciolus, they have full wet tires, use them. I just dont know whay they dont race if the conditions are too wet for inters in modern F1.

[Spacepace]

We'll in Canada they just cut the feed on TSN and all of it's associated channels for CFL grey cup crap. If Charlie Whiting didn't red flag the session so quickly maybe the cars could have cleaned the track with full wets. F1 is going to turn into Nascar pretty soon and not run in the rain

I just sent you a bro link to bbc HD of race. Don't add any of the players that it say you need, you don't need any. No global block!

Thanks but I eventually found it on TSN's website but they lost the signal until the last 2 min.

[Mr Alcatraz]

I don't agree with that assertion because the track changed and their are two many variables but.... Great lap by Seb, I'm not a hater the car still has the best midspeed traction even in the rain.

[Sevach]

I was sure Hulkenberg would get it... but lightining doesn't strike twice.

Alonso "Sorry guys"

Stella "You don't ever need to say sorry to us"

That's cool those guys have bro class. I guess Fred also said:

I lost something like seven or eight tenths in Turn 4 running off the circuit in to the painted area and I lost a lot of time there.

Red Bull opted a bit for a higher downforce setup : http://184.106.145.74/f1-championship/f ... Speeds.pdf
So FI, Merc and Ferrari running less wing or their engine have the upper hand here on power compared to Renault or it's just the setup route they went?

Does anyone know what's the weather now in Interlagos?

Looking at the live timing both red bulls were regularly 3/10 up on everyone in the last sector which is just a long straight.

I think where they gain the time is traction out of the corner and acceleration up the hill.

Vettel´s speed trap is 276km/h compared to Alonso´s 292km/h, Hamilton/Rosberg´s 285.

Yeah, such discrepancy is strange in itself, but this speed trap is not relevant i think in those conditions. The only one that is relevant is the start/finish straight where I believe everyone was on the limiter. Traction might have some part in it, but also the fact that RB is again running half the wing of everyone else is a big factor. Grosjean shifted into 7th way later than both RBs did.
